[prbiker15]

Avicii is dead at the age of 28.

Wow. Rest in peace.

 

[Hewson]

Avicii is dead at the age of 28.

That's awful.

RIP.

Apparently some health issues were caused by excessive drinking. I mean Jesus, how much does someone have to be drinking and for how long to cause such damage in their mid 20s? Very sad.

 

[bono_212]

Oh my God... This is incredibly sad. Especially if that's true that he could have had that many health problems due to alcohol at such a young age.

 

[DaveC]

his music wasn't really my cup of tea it's but still very sad to lose someone with obvious talent and potential. RIP.

one of my roommates in university drank quite a bit (but not all *that* excessively) and his liver failed before he even graduated. he got a transplant and quit drinking and last i heard he's totally fine now, but i think some people are just very susceptible to it. i don't know much about the guy but from what i'm reading this afternoon, avicii had some other health problems lately that could have possibly exacerbated the health problems that excessive alcohol causes.

 

[corianderstem]

Oh sure, that makes sense.

 

[Danny Boy]

...i think some people are just very susceptible to it.

Shane MacGowan must have incredible resilience genes.

 

[iron yuppie]

Was anyone aware that this exists?

 

[kabigon]

It wasn't me

 

[martha]

It came up as a suggestion for me on Amazon. I said no thank you.

 

[Mack_Again]

I heard Shaggy would sing for the Queen or something?

 

[lazarus]

No one can replace Freddie Mercury, but even if they had to choose someone this guy would be pretty far down the list.

What kind of world are we living in now??

Shaggy and Kylie help the Queen celebrate 92nd birthday - BBC News

Oh, I should have specified that I was making a joke, hence the altered quote.

 

[BVS]

So in the last few days Kanye has become the new voice of Trumpicans on Twitter?!

 

[LemonMelon]

Just put the album out already.

 

[bono_212]

Don't make me unexcited for the year of Yeezy, Kanye

 

[bono_212]

I found out about the Sting/Shaggy album during the Grammys. I am sooooo intrigued by this inevitable car crash.

 

[IWasBored]

I mean, in a world where that Metallica and Lou Reed album exists, how bad could it really be?

 

[bono_212]

That was unlistenable.


We're organizing our record collection and Travis pointed out that I own Cat Scratch Fever.

Travis is now walking my copy of Cat Scratch Fever down to the dumpster.

Fuck. That. Noise. There's a limit between enjoying someone's music and who they are as a human being and I don't even know if I consider this dude a human being anymore.

 

[Danny Boy]

I think I have a copy, too. Bought it in college 25 years ago. I guess I should dig it out and burn it. I will definitely never be able to listen to it again.

 

[bono_212]

Travis asked if I wanted to burn it, lol. I thought about it. I really like that song a lot. I hate when something I like gets ruined by people being horrible.

 

[Mack_Again]

regardless of Kanye's immense red-pilling we got to hear new Nas album

 

[Hewson]

That was unlistenable.

I have a soft spot for Cat Scratch Fever because when my son was 5 or 6, we were in the car and it came on the radio and he started singing along to the chorus..."cat scratch deeper.....cat scratch deeper", which makes more sense to a kid, wife and I still get a good chuckle whenever the song comes on the radio, even if Ted is an insufferable douche..

 

[GirlsAloudFan]

Kanye is on some stupid shit.

 

[DaveC]

i'm starting to think this kanye fellow might really enjoy getting people's attention.

 

[corianderstem]

I am not ashamed to say I love me some Sting.

But re this new album, I am firmly on the "Yeah, no" train.

 

[prbiker15]

I find some of the songs to be "ok" at best, but other than that...a throwaway.

 

[U2inUtah]

Man Sting hasn't put anything out of note since what, "Ten Summoner's Tales?" 1993?

I have no desire to listen to the new one
